Depends on how the song is interpreted. The intention is probably “by the 𝑛ᵗʰ day of Christmas, my true love had given to me [list of 𝑛+(𝑛–1)+…1 items]” but the actual grammar means that by day 12, you’d have received 𝑛(13–𝑛) of the 𝑛ᵗʰ item, or
12 drummers drumming
22 pipers piping
30 lords-a leaping
36 ladies dancing
40 maids a-milking
42 swans a-swimming
42 geese a-laying
40 gold rings
36 calling birds
30 French hens
22 turtle doves
12 partriges in pear trees
Total is 184 birds. By day 7, only 69 birds, up 50 % from 46 by day 6. At least the number of received birds stays constant (23) on days 8-12. The geese technically-a-reproducing are not accounted for, as the eggs might not be fertilized and take several weeks to hatch.
As a woman dating an amazing woman after dating a bunch of duds, both male and female… I feel seen. Sometimes I really don’t know how to react when she doesn’t get mad, mercilessly tease me, or take advantage of me when I am vulnerable. And we’ve been together for several years.
The shortest is apparently “Waltz, bad nymph, for quick jigs vex.”
The pangram article also lists “Glib jocks quiz nymph to vex dwarf,” but without an article before nymph and dwarf it seems to be written in headlinese. I guess it could say “Glib jocks quiz dwarf nymph to vex” instead.
